Female Common Blue

Hi, can anyone identify this Female Commom Blue type, is it an ABB. ?? Photo taken on Portsdown Hill, Hampshire, 6th. September 2023. Thanks in advance, Mike Smith.

I wouldn't say it was an ab., Mike, just a little unusual in that the blue is predominantly on the hindwings.

Female Common Blues come in a variety of different patterns...gone are the days when most were just a uniform brown with a little blue dusting near the body!

No worries, Mike. Keep on looking. Anything that seems unusual is better posted on here.
